Magic Era: My Cells Can Evolve - Chapter 12

The transport vehicle underwent a large-scale modification.

To reduce their attractiveness to Vicious Beasts and increase their defensive capabilities, they had added all kinds of hard bulletproof armor.

Other than that, the surface consisted of various kinds of dragon-type armor.

Through the clever use of all kinds of beast armor, the entire transport truck became disguised as a dragon-type beast!

No wonder Austin and the others were shocked.

At first glance, the transport vehicle looked like a giant steel dragon lying across the tracks.

It appeared ferocious and mighty, enough to intimidate most beasts.

Catherine exclaimed, “Is this our transport vehicle? I thought it was the corpse of a dragon-type beast the first time I saw it.”

“Yes, it is,” Austin replied as he admired the vehicle.

“I didn’t expect that the royal family used this method to get transport vehicles to travel in no man’s land.”

The so-called no man’s land was the region beyond the hunting area.

Both magisters and ordinary people lived in a safe city.

The outskirts of each city were the hunting area.

There would often be hunting teams formed by magisters that would go out to hunt Vicious Beasts.

Beyond the hunting area was the deserted no man’s land.

There were high-level vicious beasts everywhere, making it even more dangerous.

And the most dangerous place was still the Life Forbidden Zone.

As long as it was a territory occupied by monarch rank or emperor rank vicious beasts, humans would classify them as Life Forbidden Zones.

Even the unrivaled powerhouses of each country would not enter the Forbidden Life Zone unless necessary.

Catherine asked, “Are the transport vehicles modified to this extent to deceive those beasts?”

Austin nodded and said, “Those beasts with low intelligence will see the modified transport vehicles as dragons.”

“And the rumbling noises of the vehicle would make most of them believe that the roaming transport vehicles are powerful and terrifying dragon-type beasts.”

It was a practical method to reduce harassment by the beasts.

In the vicious beasts’ social system, people had long discovered that they had a system of hierarchy that was even more stringent and rigid than humans.

A high-level beast had absolute authority over low-level beasts.

Therefore, those commander rank, monarch rank, and even emperor rank vicious beasts could start beast tides of different sizes!

The ones that posed the greatest threat to humans were always the high-level beasts.

Humans had also been working hard to nurture super experts, persevering with the execution plan targeting high-level beasts.

“Alright, let’s not waste any more time. Please enter the ‘Fire Dragon’ according to the carriages in your manual.”

Cass announced.

Everyone was allocated their carriage number during the registration phase.

As for the seat number…?

It’s all standing tickets, so there were none.

After all, in an apocalyptic era, the transportation cost and space of every Fire Dragon vehicle were very precious.

There was no extra space to install seats.

“Brother, I’m in the sixth carriage.”

“Hey, I’m also in the sixth carriage.”

Austin signed up on a different day as his sister, and he got assigned to a carriage instantly. Yet, they still got allocated to the same carriage.

The apprentice magisters began streaming into the transport vehicle.

Mr. Chuan, Cass, and the other tier-three magisters split themselves to the front and back of the ‘Fire Dragon’; They were responsible for the safety of the journey.

There was an assistant examiner in each carriage who was responsible for explaining the specifics of the exam.

The assistant examiner in the sixth carriage was a tier two magister named White.

“I’m sure you’ve all seen the contents of the exam in the manual,” said White.

“Now, allow me to reiterate the details.”

Austin turned his attention to White and began to listen to his explanation.

“Everyone knows that only by hunting low-level vicious beasts can you pass the exam.”

“But how do you prove that you killed the beast? That’s why you collect the tracking device on the beast.”

“Tracking device?”

Someone raised the question immediately.

“May I ask what the tracking device is, Mr. White?”

White pulled out a thumb-sized cylindrical tube from his pocket. “This is the tracking device,” he said.

“All the beasts in the town of Vicious Beasts. That’s right, all of them have this tracking device.”

“These beasts are not only for your assessment but also for researchers to study.”

Everyone knew that the Vicious Beasts in Vicious Beast Town were there for the magisters to hunt.

They knew that the Vicious Beasts in Vicious Beast Town were there for the magisters to hunt, but they did not know the other purpose.

Indeed.

In the era of wild beasts, humans had done a lot of research on them to defeat them.

“To keep track of the whereabouts of the beasts at all times, the experts of the royal family used this tracking device after capturing the beasts.”

White raised the device in his hand and showed it to everyone.

“The location of the tracker is usually located at the head or neck of the beast. After you kill the beast, you can retrieve the tracker.”

“The more Vicious Beasts you hunt, the better your results will be.”

Austin’s gaze landed on White’s hand as he memorized the device’s features.

White continued, “The tracking devices have three different colors: bronze, silver, and gold.”

“The beast injected with the bronze tracker are low-level beasts.

“Those injected with the silver tracker are intermediate-level beasts.

“And finally, those with the golden tracker are high-level beasts.”

Everyone in the carriage noticed that the color grading of the tracking devices seemed to be the same as the magister’s medal’s color grading.

“Although passing the exam to become an official magister is very simple, where it only requires you to kill one low-level vicious beast successfully.”

“But in reality, the more you kill, and the more outstanding your performance is, the more you will stand out in the eyes of the examiners.”

“I don’t think there’s a need to say much that the few examiners who came are all tier-three magisters from Faye City. And they represent the various major powers!”

“Whether they choose to extend the olive branch to you depends solely on your performances.”

Anyone who understood the situation would know that this was not just a simple exam to become an official magister.

It was a tremendous opportunity to become a member of an influential faction in Faye City and a chance to be seen as a valuable asset worth their investment.

White yelled, “I hope that our warriors who leave the city of Faye are not cowards or scumbags who don’t even dare to kill a low-level beast!”

“Never forget that not only do you have to hunt them, the more you kill, the better!”

The thunder-like voice caused everyone’s eardrums to hurt slightly and ignited their excitement.

At the same time, those nervous and timid apprentice magisters became more confident with White’s encouragement.
